@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

You can start to educate yourself on the individual components; how much does it cost to paint on a per sqft basis or what is an average kitchen remodel.  

Right now we are just using private individuals.

FHA loans are designed for primary residences and require the borrower to be an individual, not a business entity.

If they were separately metered, each tenant would pay the $116.50 base fees and their individual use, which would be 3x higher than what they pay when sharing a meter.There are many options, but don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

First thing that comes to mind is a mentor but have not had any luck Also I have over 900k in equity across the portfolio, Is there a way to use the properties as collateral for a HELOC across the portfolio instead of individually?

You're local to me.There's a couple ways to go at this ;If you're looking to save some money you can have your plumber install sub-meters after the individual meters.

I lend money and would not want to lend on this type of deal.Here are some resources to explore:Contact your local tax authority ASAP!

I'm excited to be joining this incredible group of individuals.

If we want to hire individuals for each of the task, where do we start and what are the steps?
